+ | **NOTE:** there is a bug somewhere either in their firmware or in the Mac implementation of the bonjour lookups that can make it take between 5 and 10 seconds or more to resolve the hubitat.local address. Until I or they figure out what changed and how to fix it please use a DHCP reservation or the static IP capabilities of the more recent firmware updates and change the address of the hubitat in the XTension address field to use the IP address instead of the mDNS name. This will remove the extended delay when controlling anything that many folks, including myself, but not all folks are seeing when using the hubitat.local address. | ||

+ | ====Unit Naming Conventions: | ||
+ | When XTension sees a new unit in the Hubitat it will automatically create a new unit for it with all the proper settings. It will also use the name you have given the unit in the Hubitat as it’s starting point. Once the unit is created the name of the unit is no longer important to the connection and you can change the name in XTension without changing it in the Hubitat. This can be useful if there are name length restrictions or if the naming convention you are using inside the hubitat would not be as useful as what you want to use in XTension. | ||
